Investment thesis

Alphabet offers best-in-class quality — a wide economic moat, 38% net margins, and a perfect Piotroski F-Score — paired with four consecutive large earnings beats and a favorable 2.42-to-1 risk/reward with roughly 10% headroom to the price target; the primary risks are a nearly 70% revenue concentration in online advertising and a significant gap between reported profits and free cash flow.
